Don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by overstressed Systems Engineers trying to resolve multiple conflicting Requirements.

My point is there was absolutely no need for the System Engineers to touch the charging system. The normal analog diode rectifier variety that has been standard since the 1960s is Good Enough. No "Innovation" Needed. Take your spacecamp nerds elsewhere.

Sure, you MUST know better than the BMW engineers who designed the feature we have zero information about.

Engineers often do stuff without any thought of maintenance. Just ask mechanics/maintenance personnel.

Having performed repairs on a BMW motorcycle, I am quite aware. It is a good point, but I highly doubt that it would play a role in this case. There must be something there that we are missing.
